SPIRITUAL WARFARE (10) - The EVIL ARMY is MARCHING FORWARD (2) - 14 November 2017
We are living in the END of TIMES. It could be DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS or YEARS before the KING RETURNS but of the EXACT DATE we DO NOT KNOW. What we do KNOW is that the BIBLE tells us that it will be like in the days of Noah and the days of Lot besides many other natural disasters. (Luke 17:26 In the words of Messiah Himself: "And [just] as it was in the DAYS of NOAH, so will it be in the time of the Son of Man ... :28 so also [the same] as it was in the DAYS of LOT. ...:30 THAT IS THE WAY IT WILL BE ON THE DAY that the SON OF MAN IS REVEALED")
From the beginning, the ENEMY USED the EVIL SPIRIT-DARTS of LUST - SEXUAL IMMORALITY - IMPURITY and SEXUAL PERVERSION to RUIN the CREATION and the CROWN CREATION of YHWH GOD - MANKIND. These powerful evil spirits has brought many people down.
The BOOK of JUDE: (ACTS of the APOSTATES)
The Book of Jude is one letter (only one chapter) much neglected by students, filled with fascinating Old Testament references and quotations. It is WRITTEN for the END TIMES which is also the END of the "CHURCH" AGE. As the BEGINNING of the "CHURCH" age was the ACTS of the apostles - we can easily call the END of the CHURCH AGE the ACTS of the APOSTATES (rebels, turncoats, run-aways, traitors, renouncers, defectors, deserters of the faith). The Book of Jude is the ONLY BOOK DEVOTED ENTIRELY to the APOSTASY. (It was written by JUDE - the "brother" of Yahshua.)
Jude 1:17 "But you must remember, beloved, the PREDICTIONS which were made by the apostles (the special messengers) of our MESSIAH, YAHSHUA, the ANOINTED ONE. :18 They TOLD YOU BEFOREHAND, In the LAST DAYS (in the END TIMES) there will be SCOFFERS [who seek to gratify their own unholy desires], following after their OWN UNGODLY PASSIONS. :19 It is these who are [agitators - (activists, campaigners, marchers, protestors)] setting up distinctions (differences, peculiarities, twists, abnormalities, bizarreness, freakiness) and causing divisions (disunions, disagreements, discords) - merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people] DEVOID of the [HOLY] SPIRIT and DESTITUTE of ANY HIGHER SPIRITUAL LIFE.
:20-23 But YOU, BELOVED, BUILD YOURSELVES UP FOUNDED ON your MOSTH HOLY FAITH [MAKE PROGRESS, RISE LIKE AN EDIFICE HIGHER AND HIGHER] PRAYING in the HOLY SPIRIT; GUARD and KEEP YOURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF YHWH; EXPECT AND PATIENTLY WAIT for the MERCY of our MESSIAH, YAHSHUA [which will bring you] UNTO LIFE ETERNAL. :23 STRIVE to SAVE OTHERS, SNATCHING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE; on OTHER HAVE PITY but with FEAR, LOATHING EVEN the GARMENT SPOTTED by the FLESH and POLLUTED by their SENSUALITY (SEXUAL PLEASURES)."
The Book of JUDE'S ROOTS go DEEP:
1. The ANGELS that SINNED (Jude 1:6)
2. The events in SODOM and GEMORRAH (Jude 1:7)
3. The archangel MICHAEL and SATAN'S (CONFLICT/ARGUMENT over the BODY of MOSES (Jude 1:9) and also
4. "REVELATIONS" regarding CAIN, BALAAM, KORAH (Jude 1:11) and ENOCH (Jude 1:14).
1. THE ANGELS that SINNED: (Leaders are bound - offspring (Nephilim-giants) and offsprings offspring (The DINOSOURS) Nephilim-birds, Nephilim-beasts, Nephilim-reptiles, Nephilim-fish ALL part of Satan's army)
Jude 1:6 "And the ANGELS WHO DID NOT KEEP (care for; guard, and HOLD to) THEIR OWN FIRST PLACE OF POWER but ABANDON THEIR PROPER DWELLING PLACE ...")
The CONSEQUENCES of the SIN of the angels that took them wives by FORCE from the daughters of men as described in the Book of Enoch was SEVERE, UNCHANGEABLE UNREDEEMABLE Nephilim-beings.
It STARTED with LUST and when they acted on their LUST they TOOK by FORCE the DAUGHTERS of MEN and PRODUCED their OWN OFFSPRING (taking things in their own hands) - they PRODUCED their OWN CHILDREN, they DESIRED and CRAVED and COVETED to have 'children' - they wanted to be gods themselves.
What they brought forth though was HUGE, COLOSSAL OVERSIZE NEPHILIM (angel-human) BEINGS of GIGANTIC proportions . Some so UGLY and MONSTROUS and HORRIBLE and APPALING that it was hard to look at.
Gen. 6:4 - Jewish Publication Society translation 1917 and The Scriptures - "The NEPHILIM WERE in the EARTH in THOSE DAYS, and ALSO AFTER THAT when the ANGELS of YHWH CAME IN UNTO the DAUGHTERS OF MEN, and they BORE CHILDREN to THEM ..."
When the GIANTS (Nephilim-beings) who was starting to DEVOUR MANKIND and DRINK their BLOOD - SINNED with the BIRDS, BEASTS, REPTILES AND FISH - they brought FORTH - MONSTROUS (DINOSAUR) CREATURES as OFFSPRING. (Enoch 7).
Gen. 6:6 "And ELOHIM YHWH REGRETTED that HE had made MAN on the earth, and HE WAS GRIEVED at HEART. So ELOHIM SAID, I WILL DESTROY, BLOT OUT, and WIPE AWAY MANKIND, whom I HAVE CREATED from the face of the ground - NOT ONLY MAN, [but] the BEASTS and the CREEPING THINGS AND the BIRDS of the AIR - for it GRIEVES Me and MAKES Me REGRETFUL that I HAVE MADE THEM."
2. SODOM and GEMORRAH
Just like the times we are CURRENTLY LIVING IN - Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with HOMOSEXUALITY and SEXUAL PERVERTED LIFESTYLES.
Jude 1:7 " ... just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the adjacent towns - which likewise GAVE THEMSELVES OVER to IMPURITY [CONTAMINATION, pollution, adulteration, DEFILEMENT, UN-PURENESS, DIRTINESS, UNCLEANNESS, INFECTION] AND INDULGED [spoiled, ruined, damaged, decayed, rotten, stained, dirtied, polluted themselves] IN UNNATURAL [ABNORMAL, PERVERTED, WARPED, TWISTED, SICK] VICE [evil, IMMORALITY, BADNESS, INIQUITY, SIN, WICKEDNESS] AND SENSUAL [SEXUAL, EROTIC, VOLUPTUOUS, CARNAL, FLESHLY, SEX, BODILY, PHYSICAL, ANIMAL] PERVERSITY - are laid out [in plain sight] as an exhibit of perpetual punishment [TO WARN] of EVERLASTING FIRE." (See also Gen. 19)
THE WORD OF YHWH:
When we STUDY and ACT on the WORD OF YHWH GOD - LIVING ACCORDING to HIS WORD - BEING OBEDIENT TO HIS WORD - OBEYING HIS COMMANDS AND COMMANDMENTS - FOLLOWING the TEACHINGS OF MESSIAH - the ENEMY can GET NO FOOTHOLD into our LIVES. When we live in obedience habitually, we are LIVING in the PRESENCE of our ABBA FATHER - under HIS PROTECTION - SAFELY in HIS ARK - our FEET on the ROCK - HIM BEING OUR HIDING PLACE - our SAFE HAVEN - our HARBOUR and our RESTING PLACE. Our heavenly Father is a REWARDER and in being OBEDIENT to HIM - HE REWARDS US WITH His BLESSINGS.
BUT
When we LIVE in DISOBEDIENCE to the WORD OF YHWH GOD, we are STRIPPED OF (forfeiting) HIS BLESSING and we are by DEFAULT - OBEDIENT to the VOICE of the ENEMY - victims of his army - eventually to be USED IN his army. Every time we come in AGREEMENT to EVIL SPIRITS-darts FIRED AT US - we are STRENGTENING the POWER of the ENEMY ON OUR LIVES. When we ACT on these SIN - we are not living under the blessings of our heavenly Father and we are now subsequently in line with curses. In the spiritual realm we are either BLESSED or CURSED - There is no middle-way.
Abba please help us to STAND - to be OBEDIENT - O YAHWEH - YAHSHUA - LET YOUR RUACH SPIRIT BREATHE LIFE INTO OUR DRIED BONES. SATURATE us with YOUR SPIRIT - in HIS SEVEN-FOLD WORKING POWER - so that we can be AMBASSADORS of YOUR KINGDOM - HELPING OTHERS - SNATCHING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE (Jude 1:23) - Thank You ABBA for KEEPING US FROM STUMBLING - FALLING OR SLIPPING (Jude 1:24) - TO THEE, the ONLY YAHWEH GOD, YAHSHUA our SAVIOR be ALL the GLORY - the MAJESTY and POWER AND AUTHORITY BEFORE ALL TIME and NOW AND FOREVER UNTO ALL THE AGES OF ETERNITY (Jude 1:25). Amen.
